Reality TV gone mad!

Sorry for the unnanounced week-long hiatus, but (among other things) all my reality shows went insane this week, and it freaked me the hell out.

First off, Nnenna (my pick to win America's Next Top Model) got the boot! Which is just obscene, since there's still psycho Jade, stupid Sara, and aggressively unattractive Furonda (who I swear looks like a cross between Flavor Flav and Zorak, but in drag). My only consolation is that Joanie (my #2 pick) is kicking ass - and no longer snaggletoothed, which should make her unstoppable. Plus, the increasingly awesome Danielle got her gap (mostly) filled! (BTW, for the best ANTM coverage anywhere, you must read fourfour.)

Mere minutes later Wednesday, the unthinkable (thankfully) happened. Kellie Pickler finally got kicked off American Idol - which, yes, I hereby admit to following for the first time this season, thanks to the genuinely impressive Katharine McPhee and Chris Daughtry, both of whom I'm rooting for. Oh, and Thursday? Cirie pulled a stunning power play on Survivor. Who woulda thunk it? (I'm rooting for her and ultimate badass Commander Terry, who served as Officer of the Deck on the U.S.S. Enterprise and flew F-14's in the Navy. How cool is that?)
